Radio waves ��

THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE

TO RADIO WAVES.

Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured

not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy.

These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted

levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on

standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through

periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include a

substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless

of age and health.

The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement known as the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as

the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), is 1.6

W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using

standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified

power level in all tested frequency bands.

This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure

limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the

measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.

9 10

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with

all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure

guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and

can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after

searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJB076 for 5046S, 2ACCJB075 for 5046G.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual

SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.

This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as

to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you

are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the phone.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national

regulations and standards must be shown.

The highest SAR value for 5046S when tested is 1.53 W/Kg for use at the ear

and 1.35 W/Kg for use close to the body.

The highest SAR value for 5046G when tested is 0.81 W/Kg for use at the ear

and 1.44 W/Kg for use close to the body.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and

at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.

For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines

provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least

15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with

FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications

& Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific

information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of

phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or

their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-

free” devices to keep phones away from the head and body. Additional WHO

information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the

following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,

there is no guarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which can

be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to

try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected;

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio service

(e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

- This device may not cause harmful interference;

- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

Your phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you

should avoid touching it or degrading it.

As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other

than against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant with

the guidelines when used with a headset or USB data cable.

If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free

of any metal and that it positions the phone at least 15 mm away from the body.

Please note by using the device some of your personal data may be shared

with the main device. It is under your own responsibility to protect your

own personal data, not to share with it with any unauthorized devices or

third party devices connected to yours. For products with Wi-Fi features,

US Information Concerning the Federal Communications

Commission (“FCC”) Requirements for Hearing Aid

Compatibility with Wireless Devices

When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and

cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some

hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and wireless

devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device

users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing

devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated

will have the rating displayed on the box together with other

relevant approval markings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing

device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you

may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. Consulting with your

hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing

device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of

the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However, other

wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not been tested

for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features

of your smartphone thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you

hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid

or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and

exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility.

Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T4

How the ratings work

M-Ratings:

Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are

likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that

are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely

to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or

“Telephone Switch”) than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of

the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference.

Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you

find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the

less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.

For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard

to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the

FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to

telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
